Country: Georgia

Funder:
CRRC-Georgia

Dates: May 2013 - June 2013

Project objective:
To explore public attitudes towards homosexuals and reactions towards May 17th events, during which two demonstrations – one for the International Day Against Homophobia and another against homosexuality — ended with the participants of the latter violently overwhelming the participants of the former.

Research design:
For the first time in CRRC’s history, face-to-face interviews were conducted with adult citizens (18+) in Tbilisi using computer tablets instead of paper questionnaires, resulting in 542 completed interviews through computer-assisted personal interviewing (CAPI).
